Re: WE CAN NEVER FORGET!!! Why hasn't this been locked yet? The post I made with the picture of Bush in the political forum was edited and the thread locked within a day.

Re: Wrong leading a church? I just can't see how everything is a choice. I mean, I never chose to be attracted to girls, I just am. Why then could the same not be true for someone who is attracted to a person of the same sex?

Re: Wrong leading a church? Good or Evil is quite an odd term to use. Many people feel that because we hunt, because we kill a living creature, we are evil. To some extent this is true. If you want to take the 10 commandments word for word, it says "Thou shalt not kill". It doesn't say "Thou shalt not kill people", so how do we figure that only applies to people? How can you call someone evil because they violate something in the bible when you do the exact same thing when you kill a deer? Thats a bit hypocritical if you ask me...

Re: Wrong leading a church? [ QUOTE ] But you can decide between being hetero or homo - AC or DC. [/ QUOTE ] This is your opinion. I mean, none of us here even know what thoughts go through someone's mind when they realize, decide, whatever that they are homosexual. All I am saying is that from the friends I have who are gay, is that every one of them has said that it wasn't a choice they made at any point, it was something that always was, its who they are. If we go buy what I get from here, then everything is a choice. Alchoholics choose to drink then, right, its not something that is programmed into them through genes, like every study says.

Re: Wrong leading a church? [ QUOTE ] Murder, adultry, and stealing, are they just the way a person is. I think not, it is a way that each person has to choose. [/ QUOTE ] Quite the contrary, there have been many studies that have shown that the brain of a criminal is active in different areas than that of a "normal" person. There have also been studies that show that the brain of a highly religious person is active in different areas than that of a person who isn't religious. Granted, the choice to kill a person is in the end up to the killer, but you cannot control what areas of your brain you tend to use more than others.

Re: Wrong leading a church? Ok, I have some gay friends and whatnot, and I can tell you, that from what I know from them, it is not a choice, its who they are. It is the church's decision on who to approve to preach, and in this case, I would say they made the right decision. It is obvious the guy loves the scripture, even though he knows he cannot live up to it and probably realizes the bible says he is destined for ******. The only way I could see this becoming an issue, if he tried to force his homosexuality on others, or tried to influence people into being gay. Otherwise, what is wrong?

Re: Death row That is kind of a bold statement, mainly because you wouldn't think twice of killing someone if they broke in your house with the intent to harm you.

Re: Death row Where does it stop though? Should a gang member convicted of killing a rival gang member wanted in a string of robberies get off with a lighter sentence? I mean, drug dealers aren't a good thing, but in my opinion, I would rather have a drug dealer on my block than a murderer. Selling drugs should not warrant a death sentence, assuming the guy killed him solely because he believes it.

Re: Competitors but.....?

Re: peta commercial on CMT Ok, the commercial was probably put on by the local cable company, or whoever runs your television. There are open spots during every hour in which they can put local commercials on. Many times, rather than paying a ton of money and having a commercial shown all over the country, they will target one area or region in particular and sell a commercial to the local service provider.

Re: Muscle Car... AJ, that isn't always true. If you run a turbo setup at say 6.5 psi on a Civic, 200whp is possible, and with proper tuning, it can last upwards of 70k miles. This is of course assuming you have built it properly to start with. Now, a 1000hp Skyline isn't going to last more than 30-40,000 miles if that, simply because boost levels would be in excess of 28 psi. It isn't really the high rpm's that tear the motors up, its the high compression. Honda vtec engines are designed to run 8000 rpms all day long. However, when you couple 8000 rpms to 14 or 15:1 compression, its like controlling a hand grenade. [ 05-08-2003, 12:37 AM: Message edited by: shotupdeer ]

Re: Muscle Car... You can get one imported by Motorex for approx $90k. I saw this video of one in Japan tuned by Top Secret doing over 200mph in a tunnel. Amazing how a 6 cylinder car with tons of cash thrown at it can go that fast.

Re: Muscle Car... Ok, its technically not a muscle car, but there are a few that have over 1000 hp and are capable of 200+ mph. For a "muscle" car, I would have to pick The Judge. [ 05-03-2003, 11:54 PM: Message edited by: shotupdeer ]

Re: best tasting animal on the planet. 1. The turkey, deep fried 2. The pig, cooked for about 12 hours at 200 degrees 3. The catfish, stewed or fried, its your choice

Re: Some illegal things that don\'t make sense. If the dog is in my yard and is posing an immediate threat to me my family or my property (say he is fighting with my dog) I will try at all costs to avoid killing him. I will spray him with a hose, beat him upside the head with a stick, chunk a big rock at him, etc. If he persists, I will dispatch him rather quickly with a .22 bullet. As for snakes, I am trying to end my fear of them....hopefully one day I will be able to see a snake in my yard and just walk around him and not kill it.

Re: Some illegal things that don\'t make sense. There are lots of weird laws here. For instance, its against the law to tie a giraffe to a lightpole here...now, where am i supposed to put my giraffe when i am walking him and i go in a store???? there are more dumb ones like that all across the country
